Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.9
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers excellent customer service with quick responses, though some users report variable support quality.
No sentiment score available
Sentiment score
3.5
Opinions on Symantec Data Center Security support are mixed; some report issues post-Broadcom acquisition, preferring Trend Micro's efficiency.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
 

Room For Improvement

Sentiment score
6.2
Users seek enhanced SentinelOne features, including search, integration, reporting, UI navigation, cost, documentation, and deployment efficiency.
No sentiment score available
Sentiment score
1.8
Symantec Data Center Security needs improved metrics, integration, compatibility, management, support, user interface, and automation for better performance.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
9.1
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security excels in scalable, seamless endpoint integration and deployment, with robust adaptability and auto-scaling features.
No sentiment score available
Sentiment score
4.3
Symantec Data Center Security is scalable and feature-rich but faces manageability challenges in large environments compared to competitors.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
 

Setup Cost

Sentiment score
7.8
SentinelOne Singularity offers competitive and flexible pricing with discounts, modular options, and savings compared to competitors like Sophos.
No sentiment score available
Sentiment score
5.0
Symantec Data Center Security is considered premium-priced compared to competitors, with licensing seen as reasonable by some users.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
SentinelOne Singularity is reliable, stable, and integrates well with AWS, despite minor agent issues and interface concerns.
No sentiment score available
No sentiment score available
Symantec Data Center Security stability is inconsistent, with mixed reviews highlighting issues on non-Windows systems and during upgrades.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
 

Valuable Features

Sentiment score
8.7
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security delivers automated threat management, seamless integration, and comprehensive visibility, enhancing productivity and security efficiency.
No sentiment score available
Sentiment score
7.5
Symantec Data Center Security offers robust security, including disk protection, centralized monitoring, system lockdown, and precise access control capabilities.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.

Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.
Siraj Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
They have lots of events for their users like seminars, courses, and workshops
Red Hat can be utilized for anything, including OpenShift, Kubernetes, dev environments, automation, banking, and many IT industries I like virtualization and all those tools that come with OpenShift. I also like Advanced Cluster Management and the built-in security. I have used Red Hat since…
Atul-Vats - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a complete system lockdown feature and the ability to restrict users but has a complex policy structure
The negative aspect of that particular product is the fact it has a very, very, very complex policy structure. A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure. If you want to secure a Linux server, an administrator should be very confident about how the directory structure of Linux, how Linux works, and where it puts the important logs. You have to be very cautious about the complete path, and you have to write it over there in the policy part. If you are not very specific, there will be a lot of noise in the system. You're going to receive thousands of events that are false positives. The fine-tuning of the policy is a very complex thing in the DCS itself. Another negative aspect that I have observed is if the product gets installed on the kernel level of any non-Windows server, it has some issues, comparability issues. Sometimes the product doesn't work properly, so it shuts down the machine and crashes the system. There are many cases in which I've observed the DCS crashing the system.
